The Warehouse / Logistics Assistant is a support / execution role in the area of Logistics / Supply chain, focusing on the administrative support and execution of the warehousing function, or on the logistics / (outbound) transport or a combination of both areas.
Typically, depending on the size and structure of the logistics / warehousing function, the Warehouse / Logistics Assistant will report to the Warehouse & Logistics Manager, or the Warehouse Manager or Transport / Logistics Manager, and this will also define the focus of the role. The larger the operation, the more specific the role of Warehouse / Logistics Assistant is likely to be, with specialist focus like stock control, transport planning, etc. In smaller OpCo’s the business is more likely to require a Warehouse / Logistics Assistant to be an all-rounder, pitching in with all aspects of goods control and distribution, which may also include in driving a forklift if work requires this.
